With the world conference in the title, there is a serious side to the WMC. Along with all the workshops and conferences. An awards night is held. I have just selected a few of the Awards that I thought were deserved or very off the radar.

Currently some of the biggest names are playing 24/7 over in Miami. I only found this link Yesterday but when I logged on, Fedde Le Grand was mid way through his set. Even if you cannot be there, you can still watch it Live...

He is a Bremen based DJ and is about to release his third mix compilation. Known as the Huntemann PLAY! series the first two were big and the compilations really reflect what he is playing currently.

Due out in May, entitled PLAY! 03 Live at Cielo, New York. This mix shows the inside of minimal techno today, and will also feature a previously unreleased track by Huntemann–"NYC (Keep on Playin')"–and a new collaborative effort with Dubfire, entitled "Fuego".

I know you looked at the title and thought there would be a download link..... unfortunately no. It premiered on Pete Tongs Show however a few cats have it now including John Digweed who dropped it at Future Music. For everyone watching this video, at 2.47min when that typical Prydz kick and snare comes in, yeah you hear that! Well imagine that on a festival system. That was one of biggest songs of the day.

This week's Mix Monday is particularly special. Most weeks we have mixes from either the biggest DJ's around the world or local talent that we like/support. The majority of these mixes are a series of tracks slapped together often in a simple manner to showcase current tracks that that particular DJ likes. The mixing styles in these vary but are most of the time quite simply one track into another. This is something different.

I stumbled across this mix a couple of weeks back by a British group called The Diogenes Club. Unfamiliar with the act I downloaded the mix purely because the tracklist intrigued me. Upon listening to the mix I was quickly impressed and then blown away the more I listened. There's 47 tracks in an hour which sounds like one of those circa '05 mega/mash mixes. This is far from that. Through a combination of extremely clever track selection, looping, sampling and planned mixing this mix leaves you with something lasting. The transitions are so smooth with the majority of the time it near impossible to tell when one track starts and the the other stops. At many times there will be 2, 3 or even 4 tracks sitting ontop of one another seemlessly. Download this smooth disco synth journey and see if you're not wet.
